Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

In Daphne's Heart

her eyes piercing
at times drifting off
into a distant past

without a word
i imagined how
in a flashback

she'd remember
as in a trance
unspeakable atrocities

barely survived
over in europe
in the early forties

how 'lucky' she was
loved ones fallen never forgotten
etched forever in her heart

It has a lovely cadence, and is profound in its revelations.
